What is your fondest memory of MCC?
Building relationships with my professors, peers and managing my schedule. I worked full time while attending school full time.

Who was your favorite professor and why?
The late Professor Eric Kulp, a creative marketing genius. He was a mentor, a confidant and a friend. In addition, Dean Robert Fishco, a friend and a mentor who taught me business insight and help round me out as an individual. My teachers always made time for me and offered great insight.

If you could offer a current MCC student advice, what would it be?
Spend time with your professors, these men and women have real-life experience and can provide you great insight. They can help you find your passion and give you direction to be a better person. Wisdom and experience can be shared as long as someone is open to listening. Simon Says, “Be open to learning.”

Why was attending MCC the right decision for you?
MCC was an affordable stepping stone that gave me direction and an opportunity to grow.
